In a practical exemple that we use in health topics for instance is that if you have cancer, all that you wish is to find something that has power to cure cancer. No matter if such power will come from gods, science, magic or some mysterious source. What really matter after all is the "power" to cure cancer. — Individualist Possibilist
Beware of the Watchtower material — Haglund
The point is that, searching more about such philosophical topics through the internet, our conclusion is that actually it is not Gods, supernatural beings, and not even science or technologies that we must seek to solve our problems or "save us". It is actually the "powers" that such things have. (But only if they really have such powers, of course).
And when we say about "power", we are talking about a "skill", "possibility", "ability" that a thing has, to do something. — Individualist Possibilist
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
